BREAKING NEWSDetroit Lions stunned by Washington Commanders in epic NFL playoff as Super Bowl favorites suffer shock exit

The Washington Commanders have reached their first NFC Championship game for 33 years after a shock victory over the Detroit Lions on Saturday night.

Having amᴀssed a formidable 15-2 record in the regular season, which made them the NFC’s top seed for the first time in history, the Lions entered the playoffs as Super Bowl favorites ahead of back-to-back winners the Kansas City Chiefs.

Yet on a stunning night at Ford Field, Dan Campbell could only watch on as his team fell at the very first hurdle in a remarkable 45-31 defeat to the Commanders.

Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels inspired yet another Washington win for the ages in an all-time classic playoff encounter which ended 31-21 to the visitors at halftime.

Daniels, who has been a revelation in his debut NFL season, completed 21 of his 30 pᴀsses for 279 yards and two touchdowns in another masterful display.
